any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] justineldracher:
OK, is USB debugging enabled on your tablet? If it is, you need to tap on the notification and grant access to your computer. Once that is done and you run "adb devices" it should say "device" rather than "unauthorized" after the ID. Fastboot won't work unless you've granted USB debugging rights to the computer you're using.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
a window poped up on the tablet asking for permission. i gave it the permission. developer options is enabled on the tablet and usb debugging is on. i am still getting this output

OK, apparently there's been a change in the commands. To unlock the bootloader you have to type "fastboot oem asus-go", and then despite what the message in the terminal says you have to type "fastboot oem asus-go confirm" to finish. I had this exact same problem too. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
didnt work

tried again with the different commands. the device rebooted. i went to the play store and instaled supersu and the bnary updated. rebooted and went back to the play store and install root checker and ran the check and outputed "your p01z is not rooted"

[Miscellaneous Android Development] justineldracher:
Strange. I did notice that it took a while for apps to prompt for the superuser request when I did mine, though. So for example I would open an app that required root privileges and then about 5 minutes later I would finally get the prompt to grant superuser access. Once I granted, though, they worked fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
i dont know what else to try. i am pertty sure the right drivers are installed. i ran the right commands. tried 2 different root chekers. and they are both reporting no root access
[Miscellaneous Android Development] justineldracher:
Huh, I'm stumped too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
i found a version 2 of the root image file called root-v2-z170cg. that did the trick. my tablet is now rooted. thanks for all the help justineldracher :)

You're welcome, glad you got it to work! If you don't mind, hit the "Thank" button on a couple of my posts. ??

And if you can manage to find a TWRP or CWM recovery for this tablet let me know, because I haven't been able to find one yet. ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
ill keep my eye out for it. also looking to see if there is any custom roms out there myself. so far i cant seem to find any
[Miscellaneous Android Development] justineldracher:
Thanks. I'm pretty sure there's a version of CyanogenMod for this device, but all the installation tutorials use TWRP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spkuja:
Would you mind advising the steps you took to root? The original guide is less than helpful really... and I've bricked around 3 times trying to get this working!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
i followed what justineldracher said to do and i found an updated root image

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

if you google "download root-v2-z170cg" like i did you should be able to find the small image to download. if you cant find it let me know. i think i still have it downloaded somehweres
[Miscellaneous Android Development] justineldracher:
Sure, do you have fastboot working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tony950:
yes. you have to make sure you got the right drivers installed. scroll up the forum to when the previos guy was helping me. he link the files to download. the only thing you should need is that update root image file. ill look and see if i got it now

Replace "unlock" with "asus-go", i.e.

fastboot oem asus-go

fastboot oem asus-go confirm

all other methods were futile & above actually worked for me so thought I'd share :good::cool:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigobongo:
You are using wrong boot.bin or a larger boot.bin (Do not use partition image)

You need to extract the boot.bin from stock firmware and use that one then make sure that the final boot.bin is equal or smaller
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vandebay:
Hi, I just rooted my z370cg

to summarize:

1. download all files necessary

2. install all drivers and tools needed

3. adb reboot in fastboot

4. install tablet driver manually while in fastboot mode

5. use commands - reboot - voila!

thanks!

Strange pattern - HELP

Hello guys,

I have a few z370c (P01W) that are weirdly going wrong, and I haven't been able to get them out of bricked status.

These are units that have been successfully routed originally and are now coming back dead.

When I plug them into my computer via usb I hear the Usb little jingle and then it appears under my devices as 'Intel(R) USB Flash Loaded Utility' and doesn't progress further!

Usually that would be followed by the battery charging sign first, then the disconnecting jingle, then the connect jingle again, then the green battery with the charging animation, the it would appear under my devices as 'USB composite device' collapsible into 'MTP USB Device' and 'USB Mass Storage Device'.

These bricked devices don't go into fastboot. When I try they show up after a little bit as 'Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Fail) and updating the driver does not give the option of loading any google or asus driver that would let me use fastboot commands.

I have replaced battery and screen, but without any avail.

I'm stuck with about 6 of them like this, any one of you has any clue of what is going on?

Thank you for taking the time to read this .

Can anyone point me to a new stock rom? I'm getting a "Can't install this package over newer build" error with the one in the first post and I'm not finding anything else available. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddstealth:
Can someone help me out? I've downloaded the software and SDK tools I need, downloaded the ADB drivers I need, and according to the ADB tool in the CP, I've established ADB connection. However, when I boot into fastboot mode (either through the ADB method or the manual hardware method), I can't go any further in the process (the device is detected, but it won't do anything). On the PC end, it keeps connecting and disconnecting (confirmed by the connection/disconnection sounds that keep ringing in my head and giving me a headache). What am I doing wrong? I couldn't find any device-specific ADB drivers, only some sort of universal driver. Could someone maybe point me in the direction of an official source or anything? I don't think Google offers such drivers officially, at least from what I've seen, and I'm unsure of where to look (and reluctant to scour sources I'm unfamiliar with).

the prob you have to deal with is that the zenpad is not recognized bij windows; it is therefore not possible to get the apps in the adb devices list; i have a z170c and for months i've tried all the tricks in the book to get the thing in the right drivers, but to no result thusfar. is there a way you can get them in the fastboot mode?

- is it zenpad z170c you are talinkg about?

- which driver did you use and how did you install it on windows?:cool:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dekuji63:
Yes, and the very tricky bit that didn't make sense to me in the instructions is how to get those drivers loaded. The ones in the adb packet/first post instructions are exactly right for getting adb tools hooked in. The drivers for the tablet are a lot less obvious.

What I did was when I got to the green screen on the tablet and nothing seemed to be working, I realized I had to open Device Manager to find the unknown device. That's the confusing part. Look at this post -tony950 11th June 2017, 09:32 PM |#362 . There is a link at the bottom of this post with the drivers that solved my problem. You'll have to install those drivers first. That way, when you plug in your Zenpad (before you run adb tools, etc), it should show up in Device Manager as a P017Z or whatever number it is. As long as you see that first before your run adb tools, everything after that works fine.

You will probably still get a green screen on your tablet once you run adb tools. Look in device Manager again and the tablet will now be unnamed and have a yellow caution sign. That's when you use driver update to install the adb tools driver for the tablet. Don't let Windows search for it. Tell it where to find the driver. It updates and everything starts to work exactly as the steps go in Post 1, 362 and 363. I had to change the adb tools commands to asus-go in the fast boot steps.

The posts on here are super helpful but you may have to dig around a bit to find where updates have happened. I got started at 1 and then kept reading. It's a little confusing!

I did brick my tablet and then had to go to Asus' website to get the newest firmware. The one that was posted previously is older than my current firmware was so it won't overwrite that. It just complains that you can't put an older firmware over a newer one and everything stops.

I wish I'd done a screen capture of what I was doing. I hope I've remembered it right. Good luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maddstealth:
There's no actual hyperlink to that forum post, buddy.

[EDIT] NVM, I saw the post # in the text there. Curious though, will the unknown device show up under Portable Devices or somewhere else? I've tried finding it when on the green screen and connected, but I can't figure out where it is - I'm frankly concerned that it's still not connected (connects fine when in regular mode, keeps disconnecting when in fastboot).

[EDIT 2] Is it under Other Devices? If so, can you spell out in laymen's terms the process I'd go about for getting these ADB drivers installed? It keeps saying "Windows Was Unable To Install Your Unknown Device" when I try to install the drivers I downloaded from the Android Studio website, and I don't know where to go to get them from Asus (their ZenPad C 7.0 page doesn't have any USB drivers up for download).

Forgive me if I seem like a Neanderthal, but after the ([INSERT SOFTWARE HERE] does everything for me) ease of use that was working with Nexus and Samsung devices to get them rooted and unlocked, this long arduous process has me stumped. It took me two hours of searching between XDA and Youtube just to figure out how to download, install, and get running the SDK and ADB things - easy enough to figure out, but hard as hell to find, so I am VERY new to this.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
[MENTION=6946864]corvusfan23[/MENTION]

Nova Launcher is my personal favourite. It's pretty fast, no noticeable lag and looks pretty nice on the tablet. It also looks slightly more like stock Android which is awesome. Try this one out! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
[MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION]

AFAIK, flashing the firmware through ASUS Flash Tool should do the trick.

Stuck in "Asus Power On" Screen......

AwesomeLewis24: I sent you a private message with the contents of this post, but I just saw your post and think this may be a resolution to my problem. Let me know if loading the stock ROM would resolve the issue I explain below. (Again, I apologize for all the writing.... but it covers EVERYTHING I did, step by step, in chronological order):

---------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I got all your steps to work and I verified that my device was "rooted" but I started to second guess myself. Root checker said it was successfully rooted, but when I installed the Titanium Backup app and Link2SD.... they both didnt work. It would constantly show the loading symbol and not display any data.

Thats when I realized.... following the final commands in the command prompt when rooting the phone... my device rebooted and it never took me through the "new phone set up guide/wizard". So then I thought "well maybe it didnt ACTUALLY root...". SO me being the noob I am, I ran through your steps again using all the commands in command prompt as if I was rooting the phone for the first time....

Thats when my problems started. I thought everything went well, but when it came time to reboot after the final steps.... it never successfully booted. It was stuck in the "Asus - In Search of Incredible - Power On" screen and would never finish.

So currently, this is what my device does:

- If I power off, and power back on using only the power button, it gets stuck at the "Asus Power On" screen and never finishes.

- If I power off, and power back on using the power button + the volume UP button.... it goes back into the Fastboot mode with the green background and Android logo.

- If I power off, and power back on using the power button + volume DOWN button..... it goes to the "Asus Power On" screen and never finishes.

- When I plug it into my laptop, and go into command prompt, and type "adb devices"... nothing comes up in the list.

- When I have it plugged in and type "fastboot devices".... it shows my device..

- When I type "adb reboot fastboot"..... it says "Error: device not found"

- When I type "fastboot oem unlock".... it says "(bootloader) Device is already unlocked!".

- When I type "fastboot oem unlock confirm"..... it says "FAILED (remote: Please run oem unlock first and read instructions)".

- Finally when I type "fastboot boot "C:\Users\{your PC user name here}\Desktop\root-z170c_cg.img" " ....... it works, and reboots my device.... but gets stuck in the "Asus Power On" screen and never finished.

Did I screw up and brick my phone? :( I've been trying to look up ways to get a factory reset going... but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions? I'm kind of scared to try any other commands myself, just because im scared I might screw it up even more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
[MENTION=7053569]matt52191[/MENTION]

No problem, just replied. Try and run through the steps, and if they help you I'll stick them on the topic. :)

Guys help me to install custom recovery and xposed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
There's no custom recovery for this device yet. As for xposed, there's no method AFAIK yet that actually works. Somehow there's a way to install the framework, but the only logical way I tried to install the framework (method for the ZenFone, but follows the same sort of flashing the SDK 21 x86 framework zip) failed and hard bricked my tablet, luckily I got out of it.

I'm working on it, hopefully there will be a way soon. As for a custom recovery, I have no knowledge in that field so someone else might have to edge something out for us.

Hello!

In my attempt at rooting the Asus Zenpad C 7.0., I'm having some issues in getting into fastboot...

When I give the command in my ADB shell the tablets switches off, and apparently powers on into fastboot mode, however, nothing happens. It just stays at this green screen with an android logo, and no button imputs seem to do anything! (see picture)

I already tried a factory reset ...

This method is applicable to Z370C which has the same CPU as Z170C. Actually I Gained root on it.

Awesome! Thanks for testing it out, that's great.

Maybe if a few more Z370C users could test the method out and confirm that it works, I can expand this topic out a bit to include the Z370C.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] AwesomeLewis24:
AFAIK this root topic should apply to the Z170CG, but I can't confirm anything. You're more than welcome to try it out, but I can't take any responsibility.

It should work, because the Z170CG follows the same basic specs as the Z170C but just with 3G compatibility.
